The WikiText editor looks and feels like a simple text editor (like notepad in Windows). It allows you to work in the basic wiki markup language with far greater precision than that allowed by the Visual Editor.
You still have access to the toolbar, so there's nothing you can do with one editor that you can't do with the other. It's really just a matter of taste and style.
To access the WikiText editor, click the down-arrow button next to "save" on the toolbar and choose the WikiText drop down option. You might find the pop-up help menu "help on how to format text" invaluable, as it provides a guide to all of the special symbolic coding WikiText uses.
